I havent read marshs book but red power magazine had a great artice about IHs trouble last year. it said that IHs downfall may have started post WW2 when corporate wanted to keep military contracts and that money for R&D for military progects was given priorty and R&D for agriculture was cut so that could have led to the 560 problems. Then in the 60s IH invested in bad busniess deals . about this time Brooks Mccormick tried to get the company back on track but was not successful. It is my opinion the strike in 79 that finally did IH in.I remember that one of IHs parts warehouses was union and that parts had to come from farther away so insted of days to get parts it turned into weeks. also in the early 80s my dads farm was used by the local canning company to test self propeled pea combines. i was talking to one of the combines trouble shooters and he told me that they wanted IH engines but becase of the strike they couldn't IH engines so they went with Deere instead. i can't help but wonder if other people didnt't do the same thing.

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
